So is it still just a theory, or is it declared a fact?

I think you’re confusing scientific theories with the common use of the word.

I’m asking since my younger brother and father got into a “debate” about religion, and my brother is saying that evolution is now a fact instead of a theory.

I know there’s a country called Turkey, but shouldn’t there be a country called Chicken?

I’m not sure where the confusing part is :T
However, going into the whole thing is probably beyond the point of the thread anyway (nor do I particularly like debating science vs religion) so that’s about all I have to say on the matter

It’s just that I’m confused. So it can’t go beyond a theory?

In other words, someone who tries to say “it’s just a theory” to dismiss evolution has no idea what they’re talking about. Evolution is a scientific theory, which means that, as far as science is concerned, it’s fact.

A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can be repeatedly tested, in accordance with the scientific method, using a predefined protocol of observation and experiment. Established scientific theories have withstood rigorous scrutiny and embody scientific knowledge.The definition of a scientific theory (often contracted to “theory” for the sake of brevity) as used in the disciplines of science is significantly different from the common vernacular usage of the word “theory”. In everyday speech, “theory” can imply that something is an unsubstantiated and speculative guess, the opposite of its meaning in science.

Sorry to be THAT guy, but Wikipedia isn’t always the most reliable source to back up your claims. It can be edited as easy as painting graffiti on school property.

Does “incredibly explicit artwork linked for no real reason” equate to “stupid stuff that comes to mind that I want to post?” :D
